What's New In W. Africa (Nigeria)

Thanks 212man. What's the strike about this time ? Equality was taken care of years ago ?
The running cost of WASBU (no idea what it's called now, the name changes after every "restructuring") were high mainly due to commuting, security and accommodation; the BC ethos of high charges in return for Target Zero went when he did, so given your observation I guess the "powers that be" will be taking a very close look at the bottom line.

I see on social media that the 3 ADA AW139s have just arrived by AN-124 in Nigeria, to operate with OAS......
...and I heard that ADA is in chaos, they need to hire 30 pilots one day, and need to fire 30 pilots the next. And I heard that Nigeria contract had been put back to March, and that the pilot salaries on offer had been cut in half.

Yesterday is already history. Algezera reported that the population of Nigeria is approx. 300 million of which 40,000 are millionairs. Unlike 2019, in 2020 so far, 176,000 Nigerian nationals are applying for citizen ship elsewhere in the Carabean or Europe. Is this now a problem for pilot training?

So Caverton have become the numero uno helicopter operator. Who would have thought a decade ago that BHNL and ACN would be laid so low ? Being ex BHNL I can testify to the pitifully poor remote management decisions that brought about their demise. Houston bean counters rarely visited nor made any effort to understand the local modus operandi, despite the pleas of our extremely competent and insightful National MD. Post BC the trajectory was all downhill with many board members becoming rich at the expense of good governance. Similar story at Aero once they were bought out.
My best wishes to all those working for all operators under Covid 19 and for a Happy Festive season.

My Stroke continues to give me a problem when attempting to reply to people. I do possess information which may be of interest to you but I would prefer to publish privately by letter. But with the current problems regarding Post in or out of the UK and especially now we are very near being ship-wrecked by Boris Johnson, this also would be difficult.? Q-satirical response: There are "economical with the truth lies i.e.Tony Blair/dammed lies or Boris Johnson - take your pick!

One hears that Bristow have made quite a few very experienced pilots and engineers in Nigeria redundant. What’s going on?

Can anyone is still in BHNL tell us what long term contracts they have apart from Eket ? An old friend tells me NAF Base has nothing but charter work going on. What FW work do they have ?

I guess the FW is using the aircraft originally intended for the integrated service that never materialised ?
Good luck to the NAF Base boys and girls !
